About the event
Prepare for the unexpected. SOLO Wilderness First Aid Afloat (WFAA) builds a solid foundation in backcountry medical care. This 16-hour course teaches the essential skills needed to respond to emergencies in marine environments—where calling 911 isn't an option.
You’ll Learn How to Assess and Respond to a Wide Range of Scenarios, Including:
Patient Assessment & Scene Safety
Learn how to evaluate injuries, prioritize care, and stay safe while helping others.
Soft Tissue & Musculoskeletal Injuries
Includes fracture stabilization, wound care, sprains, strains, and burn management.
